Chapter 3
Chapter 3
Dad said that we must leave before July [-]th. Today is the deadline, and the time is very tight, so I rushed to the town as if I was running for my life.

Not daring to stay, I bought a bottle of mineral water to quench my thirst, and then drove into the city.

When I entered the city for the first time, I was a little dazed looking at the chaotic streets and crowds.

I also thought about what my father told me to stay as far away as possible. I didn't know if the county seat was far away.

If the county seat is not far away, where can I go?
I only have more than 800 yuan on me, which was saved by my grandma a few years ago, so I dare not spend it recklessly.

After thinking about it, I'm afraid.

I'm afraid the county seat is still not far enough away, so I'm going to leave the province.

Where are you going?

I think of Yangzhou mentioned by my father.

Anyway, there is no goal, so I simply went to Yangzhou.

I couldn't find the station, so I could only reluctantly spend ten yuan to ride a motorcycle.

When I came to the station, I asked about it. There is still a long-distance bus to Yangzhou this evening, and the fare is [-].

Gritting his teeth, he bought a ticket.

I bought some dry food and water, got on the car to Yangzhou with the last 50 yuan in my pocket, and fled far away.

During the period, the car stopped in several service areas to eat, and every time I could only choke on dry food.

35 full hours.

On the morning of the third day, I finally arrived in Yangzhou. After getting off the bus, I almost couldn't find the exit, so I had to follow the people on the same bus and left the station.

Standing at the gate of the station, I was dumbfounded. Before, I thought that the buildings with more than ten floors in our county town were tall enough, and our county town was amazing. But now, looking at the bustling metropolis in front of me, I was stunned.

where am I?
Where am I going?

It took a long time to calm myself down.

My father only mentioned Lin Qingyin, but he didn't have any other information. It is unrealistic to find Lin Qingyin now. We can only wait for the chance. When the fate comes, we will meet naturally.

Regardless of whether it is in the future or now, what I have to do is to live. Only when I live can I go and do what I want to do.

To survive, you have to make money.

But how to make money?
No idea at the moment.

Let's talk after leaving the station.

At that time, I didn't even know what a zebra crossing was. I crossed the road directly, and even complained that the vehicles would not let me. I was so embarrassed when I crossed the road.

Looking at the colorful shops, the dazzling array of goods, and the delicious food, I can only increase my envy.

Pedestrians were in a hurry on the street, and everyone looked at me with color in their eyes.

I know they look down on me.

I understand that the clothes I wear are similar to a beggar except that I am cleaner than a beggar. Even in our Xiao'ao village, people despise me. It is not surprising that people in big cities look down on me.

After walking for a few streets, I finally saw a bun seller at the entrance of an alley. I bought two buns for two yuan to satisfy my hunger, and I was reluctant to buy water.

When I was full, I began to think about how to make money.

I tried to find a job, but no one knew how embarrassing and difficult it was for me, my body was small and my image was too bad, and no one wanted me to do the dishes and serve the dishes.

Later, I thought of telling people's fortunes. With my current ability, there is only one way.

Just do it.

I found a flyer in the trash can, half of a discarded lipstick, and after writing the word fortune-telling on the flyer, I found a crowded flyover, sat down on the railing in the middle of the flyover, and put fortune-telling on it in front of me. The two-character flyer started to solicit business.

I don't care what other people think, because I care more about living.

In this bustling metropolis full of college students, I couldn't find a job at all, so I could only survive with a thick skin.

I look forward to having guests come forward.

But God seemed to be joking with me. After a few hours, not only did no one ask me for fortune-telling, but two or three people threw coins at me, treating me as a beggar.

Looking at the three coins on the flyer, I really want to cry, but if you can beg for money, it doesn't matter to be a beggar.

However, the good times didn't last long, and a group of uniformed people came and told me to leave quickly, saying that I was affecting the appearance of the city.

Their expressions were indifferent and fierce. I was afraid and ran away as if fleeing for my life.

I found out later that they were urban management.

Living in a strange city, walking on a strange street, looking at strange faces, no one knows the sadness in my heart, no one knows how difficult I am.

I cried.

But no one cares about me.

I'm wandering around like a walking dead, where is ahead, what the future holds, I don't know.

I also regretted it and thought about going home. Even if I only have 11 years to live, at least I can live like a human being.

But I only have 51 yuan for my whole body, and I can't go back at all.

I can't go back.

I don't know how long it has been shaking.

Suddenly, I thought of something.

"How stupid!"

I slapped myself for learning so much and not knowing how to use it.

Quickly pinch your fingers and calculate that today is the [-]th day of the seventh month of the [-] year. Although it is not an auspicious day, it is not bad.

That's great, there is Tiande star in the south, combined with my birthday horoscope, the Tiande star in the southwest is shining brightly, and you will have good luck.

After taking out the compass and finding out the southwest direction, I headed southwest.

You time, from five o'clock in the afternoon to seven o'clock in the evening, it is now four o'clock, and there is one hour left.

Walk neither fast nor slow.

When it comes to five o'clock, the unitary hour has arrived, but the opportunity has not yet appeared.

I couldn't help being a little nervous, nervous about what I would encounter, or, nervous that I might not be able to figure it out, it would be nothing.

After walking for another hour, I came to a relatively old old street. The street is not too long, with tall and dense trees planted on both sides. As far as the eye can see, there are shops for funeral supplies, a funeral street.

I slowed down because I was too tired.

"Come live, come live."

Suddenly, at the door of a store, a man who looked like a boss waved towards me.

The next moment, under the big tree next to me, a group of people ran towards the boss. Looking at their clothes and appearance, they were all low-level poor people.

I was curious, so I leaned over to see what was going on.

Later, I found out that this group of people eats from the dead, helping people to keep watch, mourning funerals, carrying corpses, etc., doing everything, and waiting for work in this funeral street.

Although this kind of work does not happen every day, as long as it is done once, it can earn half a month's expenses.

The boss said to everyone: "There is a customer in the store who wants to go to the Luohungou to guard the spirit. There is no need to work, but to accompany her to watch tonight. The price is very generous, and one person has a head of one thousand. Who is willing to go? ?”

"Yeah, Luohungou, don't go, don't go."

"I dare not earn this money."

"I'm not going anyway."

This group of people disappeared after every word you said.

You know, they specialize in eating dead people's food, and they are not usually very courageous, but now they all retreat, and no one is left behind. It is enough to imagine what kind of place this Luohungou is.

"Young man, would you like to go?" the boss asked.

I looked left and right, and I was the only one, so it should be asking me.

At this time, my mind was full of money, and I didn't think much about it. I smiled and asked shyly, "Are you rich?"

The boss saw that everyone else had run away, probably because he was afraid that I would not want to, so he said, "Yes, yes, two thousand, pay immediately."

I just gave out one thousand, and it was added to two thousand in a blink of an eye. I felt like he was going to sell me. However, I can earn 2000 yuan in one night. Where can I find such a good thing? I nodded excitedly.

At this time, a girl came out of the store. When I saw her, I felt as if I lost my soul. It was as if I saw a light, which was dazzling. She was full of elegance every time she walked, which fascinated me. In the spring breeze, the world seems to be getting better.
